Answer :

Answer:

The correct answers are:

(b) Seeks constant reinforcement.

(c) Lack of empathy towards others.

(d) Grandiosity.

Explanation:

Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) is characterized by the following clinical manifestations:

- Grandiosity (excessive self-love and self-importance)

- Lack of empathy towards others

- Seeking constant reinforcement and validation from others

- Feelings of entitlement and superiority

Feelings of inferiority and auditory hallucinations are not typical clinical manifestations of NPD. Individuals with NPD typically exhibit an inflated sense of self and grandiosity, rather than feelings of inferiority.
